The sky of Eldoria darkened as a deafening roar shook the hills. From behind the black clouds, a gigantic dragon with jet-black scales descended, spewing flames from its mouth. The peaceful village of Aerwyn was suddenly engulfed in a sea of fire. Wooden houses burned, wheat fields were scorched, and the villagers ran in panic. The dragon, known in legend as Morghal---a primordial creature once sealed by the ancestors---...had awoken from its slumber on the Dark Mountain. No ordinary weapon could harm it, and the village warriors were powerless against its might. Amidst the destruction, four figures arrived from the kingdom's capital: Prince Kael, a skilled swordsman wielding the legendary sword Solaren; Princess Alira, who had secretly trained in protective magic and combat arts since childhood; the old wizard Edran, guardian of the kingdom's secrets; and Lira, a young alchemist known for her genius in concocting rare potions. They came not as nobility or scholars, but......as the last line of defense sent by the King himself, when news of Aerwyn's destruction reached the palace. The four of them quickly took on their roles. Kael led the remaining troops, charging fearlessly into battle, diverting the dragon's attention with daring maneuvers and strikes from Solaren, which could gouge the creature's scales. Alira, with her magical bow and protective spells, moved swiftly to rescue villagers---especially children and the elderly---trapped beneath the rubble. Meanwhile, Edran stood in the open field, raising his crystal staff to summon a storm and artificial rain, attempting to extinguish the flames......that consumed the village. Behind the battle lines, Lira worked swiftly and precisely, mixing an ancient potion she had discovered in a forgotten manuscript: a blend of Eternal Ice Powder and Shadow Dust---which, if successful, would put any creature to sleep instantly. As the dragon swooped low to strike Edran, Kael attacked from the side, wounding its wing and causing the dragon to roar in pain. In that moment, Lira hurled a crystal vial containing the potion toward the dragon's open mouth. A burst of cold vapor enveloped the creature's head, and its eyes instantly grew heavy. Its body trembled, then crashed to the ground with a deafening thud, plunged into a deep and long magical slumber.After the dragon fell, the village fell silent. 

The smoke began to clear, the artificial rain moistened the scorched earth, and the villagers slowly emerged from their hiding places. They saw the four figures standing amidst the ruins---exhausted, wounded, yet still standing. Prince Kael smiled despite his bleeding arm, Alira hugged a young child she had saved, Edran gazed at the sky with tears in his eyes, and Lira looked at the empty vial in her hand, breathing a sigh of relief.

A village elder approached, knelt down, and spoke"You are not just our saviors... you are the light in the darkness." From that day on, the song of "The Four Guardians of Aerwyn" was sung throughout the land of Eldoria. They sought no throne or praise, only to ensure that as long as the four of them stood together, no dark creature could destroy the hope of humanity. And amidst the ruins of the burned village, a new seed was planted: the seed of courage, which would one day grow into a legend for generations to come.
